Trayvon Martin

George Zimmerman stands with his attorney Mark O’Mara (R) as he makes his first appearance in front of a judge at the Seminole County Correctional Facility in Sanford, Florida. Zimmerman turned himself in the day prior, following an announcement by special prosecutor Angela Corey that she was charging him with 2nd degree murder in the February shooting death of 17 year-old Trayvon Martin. Sanford Police say Martin was unarmed when he was shot by Zimmerman who was acting as a volunteer neighborhood watch captain.

Trayvon Martin was slain in the town of Sanford, Fla., on Feb. 26 in a shooting that has set off a nationwide furor over race and justice. Neighborhood crime-watch captain George Zimmerman claimed self-defense and has not been arrested, though state and federal authorities are still investigating. When he was shot, Martin was not the pint-sized baby-faced boy in photos that have been on front pages around the country. And Zimmerman wasn’t the hulking figure in the mugshot that has been making the newspapers. These photos are several years old, yet they may well have shaped public perceptions of the shooting.
